It's certainly the same person, and the bag has weight.

That means that the person has to lean to maintain the right center of gravity. (Person's walking, so "center of mass" is a bit wrong.)

The additional mass and shift in CoG will alter step cadence. Beyond that, not my thing.

What's left are visuals--clothing, height, width.

Geez, she's nothing more than a masked criminal. Funny that she's wearing a mask in the act of setting up something nefarious but rails against wearing masks to protect people's health. Hypocrit much?

Wow, she's dressed to burglar something. That swinging arm is a dead giveaway. Not to mention the height and shape and speed and overall arrogant demeanor.

Nefarious little GOPer.

I guess it’s possible for a woman to look flat chested if she wears very large tops, but my feeling is that her breasts would have shown through at least a little with all that arm swinging.

Co-Wrote a book called Legacy of Secrecy.

In it he meticulously details the evidence that shows organized crime murdered him while the FBI and Secret Service let them.

It's a thick book with a huge amount of footnotes from documents released about 10 years ago.

The evidence in the book is overwhelming. If you are into the details of JFK's murder and others that followed, it gives a lot of facts and events.

Because Legacy of Secrecy is just that. It meticulously looks through government documents to identify who was where, when and how and why. And notes which documents and people the info came from.

I read that Mary's Mosaic . It's a good read but I was not convinced.

Though to tell you honestly I don't think Thom had much to do with the book. It's too specific and dense for Thom's style of writing. I think Lamar put Thom's name on the book to up his sales. It's soooo detailed and full of interesting facts.

But hay, your choice, your life.

What about hair left around the pipe bombs, panic button, etc.? This imaging technique also looks promising to me! Plus cadence analysis, well, no wonder they called this woman in to be questioned.

Around DC that would probably be most critters/lobbyists that are used to pumping their arms for affect.

(Please notice that I did not assign any sexual or racial attributes to said suspect. It might even be a non human species, just to be safe.)

Sat Apr 23, 2022, 05:35 PM

Regular members of Congress wouldn't have known about the unreinforced windows or how to disable panic buttons.

Some police and some maintenance crew would have.

As for the pipe bombs, who knows? One thing we know for certain is that the bomber was incompetent. It's not that easy to make something go boom when you want it to without blowing yourself up in the process and the bozo wasn't up to the job.

Fingerprinting isn't magic, clear prints are unusual, it's more often a smear and a partial. Then the print has to be on file somewhere.

Given our technology, I refuse to believe that they don't have the answers. There are times when we are not provided with intel on certain things because the outrage/panic/fear response of our citizenry would be uncontrollable.

I can't see a bodily resemblance to Perjury Traitor Greene.

The chest, the hips, the shoulders, the posture all look male to me, not female. Maybe it's a similar cadence or "step," but that's not enough to ID someone.

A Democratic aide to the House Administration Committee, which is examining the matter, tells me that the preliminary belief is that it might have been a mistake. He emailed:

A preliminary investigation suggests that Pressley’s office was inadvertently placed on the Architect of the Capitol move list, and a vendor wrongly removed their duress buttons through a clerical screw-up.
